Flickr Confirms Taking Down Egyptian Blogger?s Photos, Cites Community Guidelines Violation

Last weekend Egyptian protestors broke into Amn al Dowla, the Cairo headquarters for the Egyptian security agency, and removed a "treasure trove" of video disks, hard disks and CDs with government documents from the Mubarak era. Egyptian blogger Hossam Arabway came into possession of a CD from the raid and has been uploading a set of Secret Service officer pics to Flickr for the past week. Arabway posted on his on blog that Flickr removed the photos yesterday, citing copyright infringement. Arabway's post led to NPR's Andy Carvin asking Flickr for a response to the accusations of censorship.
